Access to public information in Cambodia context is still limited. Without the ability to access or generate information about public policies and procedures, budgets, expenditures, programs and services, it is difficult for citizens to formulate and voice opinions, contribute to public debates, monitor government actions, or effectively negotiate with public officials. Lack of information does not help people in claiming their rights particularly in matter the most to them. Also, lack of information let people spend more money on getting public services.
